Land consolidation (LC) is an important tool for the improvement of
agriculture and rural development, which also includes environmental issues
in most of the countries in Europe. This paper presents ...the most important
results of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of land consolidation,
conducted in the municipality of Vrsac through a pilot project based on the
EU methodology set within the project: ?Strengthening Municipal Land
Management in Serbia?, supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft f?r
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. During the summer of 2018, field
survey was carried out at 90 locations, documenting the natural,
semi-natural and man-made landscape elements of ecological or cultural
values, assessing their quality and estimating the potential harmful
environmental impacts of the land consolidation. The already existing
negative impacts of intensive agriculture were also registered, such as
abandonment or overgrazing of pastures and meadows, converting grasslands
into arable land, soil erosion and habitat fragmentation. Although the area
of LC is without natural forest and extremely poor in semi-natural elements
of rural landscape, the existing entities were revealed as refuges for
protected species. Some of the grassland fragments belonged to protected
habitat types. The final categorization of the landscape elements was
conducted in three levels. Category I landscape elements had to remain
undisturbed; Category II landscape elements could be removed with obligatory
ecological compensation, while the Category III landscape elements could be
removed without environmental compensation. Recommendations were given
pointing out the possibilities for improving the environmental characters of
the area by the land consolidation process.
Agrotechnical measures are the main factor defining the vineyard weed flora
structure and composition, while adequate weed control measures
simultaneously ensure that vineyards are being ...well-managed, thus securing
good grapevine health and high quality of wine. Given that the biological
spectrum of weeds affects the choice of weed control measures, the aim of
this study was to determine the biological properties of the weed flora in
Vrsac vineyards, by assessing dominant life forms and phenology of the
identified weeds. The floristic analysis was conducted during the 2016
vegetation season (March-November) at 60 plots (1 m2), at three field sites.
The presence of 97 plant taxa, belonging to 26 families, was determined. The
biological spectrum of the vineyards weed flora has shown a
thero?phyto-hemicryptophyte character (therophytes: 57.73% and
hemicryptophytes: 34.02%). The scapose herbaceous plants with
summer-flowering phenology were dominant within the therophytes and
hemicryptophytes. The obtained results have shown a higher weed diversity in
vineyards, when compared to previous research of the weed flora in the study
area, but similar to more recent studies conducted in the neighbouring
countries. Furthermore, the dominant presence of therophytes in the vineyard
weed flora was expected, bearing in mind the primarily mechanical weed
control measures traditionally applied in vineyards.
Research problem. The research problem is the increase of GHG and CO2
emissions in the transport sector, i.e. the intensification of urban
transport activity in Serbia during the last 15 years. ...Focusing on
redesigning of pedestrian networks as well as understanding the connections
between urban design and pedestrian movement, the walkable environment could
be achieved. In addition, as a direct result, a contribution would be made to
a decrease of GHG and CO2 emission. Methodology. The following methods were
used: analysis of the readability of open spaces, analysis of contents,
rhythm and transparency on the ground floor of buildings and analysis of the
intensity of use of open spaces using the Space Syntax method. Results. The
results show a proportional relation between characteristics on ground floors
of buildings and the intensity of pedestrian movement. Also, they enable the
establishing of general recommendations for designing the immediate
pedestrian environment and upgrading the quality of open public spaces.
Conclusion. The improvement of the quality of pedestrian environment would
have as its direct consequence greater use of open public spaces, and thus
also increased intensity of pedestrian movement. In this manner, people would
face a better quality and broader selection of contents and spaces.

This study deals with a few relevant indicators that clearly and consistently illustrate degradation processes in seven borderline rural settlements of the mountainous region around Vršac. The above ...mentioned processes tend to affect demographic phenomena and processes as well as the economic situation, i.e. the structure and functioning of agricultural production, in the first place. What is characteristic about this region is stagnation and deterioration of major branches of economy, not only due to specific natural qualities of the mountains in this region, as well as general current economic politics towards most borderline areas in Serbia, but also due to the fact that these villages cannot even find stimulating economic support in cooperation with nearby borderline regionof Romania, which is actually one of the poorly developed regions of the Romanian part of Banat.
